READS LIKE FICTION. Thrilling Tale by an Heir to a Fortune. INVEIGLED INTO AN OHIO MADHOUSE Cincinnati, September 27. —About a mile from Oxford, ()., stands a large brick building, known hr the Oxford Retreat, a private insti tution for the treatment of insanity. The su perintendent of the retreat is Dr. George F. Cook. Dr. (’ook has filled that position for upwards of two years. For some little time back there have been rumors running around Oxford reflecting rather seriously upon the management of the institution. One of the most prominent and startling of these was to the effect that a young man from the south, of large means, bad been kidnapped into the re sort and was being detained there illegally and against his will through the conspiracy of friends on tlie outside, who wanted him out of the way in order that they might the more readily possess themselves of his fortune. This rumor was investigated. The young man referred to was found. He had been re leased from the rttn-at Thursday evening un der peculiar circumstances. His name is Samuel L. Doan. He is a small, slight, boy ish-looking young fellow of 22, bright, apt and intelligent, and told his story in a very straight forward and impressive manner. “My father,“baid he, “was Estis Doan, of Memphis, Tenn., one of the largest cotton merchants of that section of the south. Ho die<l two years ag O . n,% left a large property, and his will, while making ample provisions for my mother and the other children, showed some little favoritism tome. “Although I was the wildest one in the family, I was always my father’s favorite child. The favoriteism shown in my direction by the will aroused the iealousy of certain other members of the family, and this, in the light of the facts and circumstances, is the secret of my recent involuntary incarceration. I traveled about the <‘ountry, and looked upon wine when it was red. Along in July last I made up my niipd to bra< e up. Our family physician, who was cognizant of this inten tion. Suggested the Retreat at Oxford, 0., as a good p!;u.«- for inc to go to. I determined to enter the Retreat. 1 accordingly arrived in Oxford on July 28th lust, and entered it at once. The terms are SH) a week. When I ent' ied J was thriibt into what is called (he ‘back ward,’ among the insane and epileptic patients, w here the inmates ate constantly in charge of k<*vp<«rs and are under lock and key. This is Jmrdly what I had expected, but I thought perhaps it would he the best thing after all, as it would bo impassible for me to get out to get anything to drink, and the bracing-up process would be expedited. I re mained an iincomjdaining imnateof that ward for three wet ks. At the end of that time, feel ing satisfied that 1 had got the whisky out of inc, 1 requested Dr, Cook to transfer me to other and bettor quarter* and accord me some privileges. A 'No, air,’.said Dr. f’ook, very gruffly and emphaiicnily : 'you’ll stay just where you are.’ I was astounded. I had gone there as I’d go to any hotel or watering place, prepared to pay my way, ami expecting such treatment ami orivih-goh its 1 desired. “Then,” said 1. “1 leave the institution.” “ ‘Not much.' E.ti<l Dr. Cook, ‘1 am going to keep you here.’ I was horror .stricken. Iliad entered there of my own free will. 1 was of age. and had not been committed there. I was <lumbfouml <•<l. Not only did (-00 k give me the intelli gence that 1 was to remain in the institution whether or no an inmate of a ward occupied by lunatics, imbeciles, epileptics and other un desirable companions, but he imparted the ad ditional information that all letters 1 wrote were to be handed to him unsealed, to be read and censored before bring mailed. When I entered the institution 1 had a book of blank check* ou tho Slate National Bunk of Mum phis. Tho second night I was there this hook was taken from my pocket. A <lnv later Cook presented one of the blank checks to me and requested me to sign. 1 refubtsl to append my signature until he had filled it out. lie final ly Ailed it out for S(K) for four weeks’ board. Thon I signetl “Finally 1 succeedeil in smuggling a letter out, through an am-udant. to 51 r. Nuhon W. Perry, of Oxford, of whom I had heard. Mr. Perry smuggled an answerback, and through tlii.i clandestine corn : pondencc I succeeded in laying before Mr. Furry a true statement of my ease He consulted a lawyer, Mr. Palmer Smith. Cook sent word to Mr. Smith that he had belter have nothing to do with tho matter. Mr. Smith sent back word that tho ca.se, as it presented itself to him, appealed to humanity, and that he would sift it to the bottom. In order to satisfy Mr. Smith that 1 was a responsible party. I sent him word to telo graph tho State National bank of Memphis as to whether there was an account there to my creditor not. Mr. Smith had the Second Na tional bank of that place telegraph the Stalo National bank of Memphis to that effect. The answer came hwk that there was money there to my credit, but that a guardian had enjoined tho lumk not to nay it over to me, This was a new surprise, ft was tho first intimation 1 had that 1 had a g)Mudiau. It was another Conclusive demonstration of the existence of a oolddblooded. etmftglracy. 1 immediately wtoCc, and Rmuggh’a out the letter, to tiio piobatfi ■judgfc 'of Shelby County, Tenn., (inquiring wludhvt there ln<d been a guardian app<»‘mted for me.

In a day or two the answer unme back that imvstiga tion on the part ol the bank had developed the fact that It hmi been imposed upon, and that the guard Inn story was all a hoax ; that 1 had no guardian, and the money to my credit there was at my disposal. Finally, the fore part of tiiis week. Mr. Smith determint'd to bring the matter to iui immediate issue by taking out corpus pa|>ers for my re lease. It happened that Dr Cook, who had an inkling as to what, was in contemplation, approached Mr. Smith ami brought up the subject of the proposed habeas corpus pro ceedings, and attempted to dissuade him from suuli a course, telling him that such a proceeding would prove futile. Hi he had com mitment papers for my detention. “’What is tho character of the papers’?' asked Mr. Smith. “Il’s a bill of lunacy, ’ was tho reply. “The following day, on Tuesday last. Mr. Smith called at tho Retreat. The doctor pro duced tho |>a|>ers. Instead of being a bill of lunacy, the pa|»ers were a guaranies' signed by relatives c»f minu in Te.nnessev to se* 11 te him, Cook # from any damages (hat might result in case that I brought an action against him for illegal detention This document left no fur ther doubt about the whole ass air being a eon tipiracy planned by relatives of mine and par ticipated in by Cook.

Ihe • ount:y betiv• en the river and Un ontown was then overrun with bush whackers and gnerri Has, and we anticipated more or los trout le with them. The scout had been twice captured by the feder al®, and he was described to us as of slender build, medium bight, fair complexion and dark eyes. Enough was known about his nerve to know that he would not be taxen alive if he had any show to fight, and therefore os we approachd the house about midnight from across a 1 eld wo were anxious ly wondering how we should get at him. If we knocked at the door he would be alarmed and have time to arm hlmsclL If we b?uk? ft in we might and probably should find him in bed. It was a still, dear night, rather cold, and we hung about for half an hour before adopting apian. Then we decided to break in the <’o -rs. Two of us went to the front and two to the back door, while the fifth man stood ready to rec eive the scout in case he dropped from ft second-story window supposed lobe fn his IxJdroom. We crept softly up, and at a signal both doom were burst . No, they weren’tl Neither of them gave an inch under the pressure, and in response to the efforts we made a woman’s voice called oat: “Who is it, and what’s wanted?” “Open the doer, or ve 11 b:Oak it dov n.” “Wait one minute!” She struck a light, and we heard her moving about, and in a couple of minutes the front door was opened and a gray-haired woxtaa of forty-five stood there, with ft candle In her hand. “Union soldi* .a, eh? Come right in,” she said, smiling ss if glad to see üb. I posted three of the men around the bouse and entered with the other, and as soon as 11 us Inside I said: “Madam, we have come for your son. We know he is heie. We shall take him dead or alive.” “Oh, you have come for Billy, Lave you!” ex claimed a girl about 18 years of age, who came run ning down stairs at that moment. “Excuse me, gentlemen, for not being fully dressed, but you sec you didn’t send us any word.” She laughed In a merry way, while the mother smiled good naturedly. Sue had on a neat fitting calico dress, a ribbon at her throat, and except that her hair looked ’‘tumbled” she looked as well pre pared as if she expected our coming. “Yes, Jennie, they want Billy,” said the mother as she placed the candle on a stand. “And we are lound to take him, dead or alive I” I added in ft loud voice, inspecting the scout was within hearing. “Oh, how sorry !” laughed the girl. “If brother Billy 1a l only known you were coming! But he didn’t, you see, and so he went away at dark. He’ll never forgive himself—never !“ “We must search tlie house,” I said. “Ob, certainly. Mummy, you light another can dle and I’ll show the gentlemen around. Perhaps the ‘•lgbt of Billy’s old clothes will do ‘cm good.” t Well, sir, we hunted that house from attic to cellar and till we found was an old .suit of Billy’s clothes. The scout had skipped and the best I could do was to apologize to mother and daughter, accept a mid night lumffiedn at the hands of the latter, and take hcTaic'k track for the river.

STORIES jOFJHE WAR. A Yankee Trick That Didn't Pan Out. BEN PAGETT’S GUN SWAP. For The Constitution, In the fall of '63, when we were drinking bud water and r ating pool beef at the foot of Lookoutuiountaiii, waiting for Sherman to get ready to “roust” us from Chattanooga, our picket duty was pretty heavy, which was occa sionally relieved by au amusing incident, one of which I propose to relate. Our brigade (Pettus’s) was detailed for duty on the mountain, that being the point where au attack from the enemy would likely be made. We had a strong lino of pickets stationed about one hundred yards from tho bank of a creek, and the yankee pickets were similarly posted on the opposite side, the two lines being but two orthree hundred yards apart—a pretty distance for sharp-shooting, and the boys prac ticed this amusement to perfection, so much so that it was not an unfrequent mishap for some poor fellow on one side or the other to receive a final discharge. Occasionally the opposing pickets would get quite sociable, and meet on their resp<u:tive sides of the small stream and have a friendly chat, joke each other, swap tobacco, coffee, etc., until nearly "relief” time, when they would skin back to their posts and perhaps take a crack at each other before they could get under cover. Ben Padgett, of the —th Alabama regiment, was a little wirey fellow, weighing not over one hundred and twenty pounds, but carrying at least a ton of pure grit in his gizzard—a splendid soldier, who would unhesitatingly fight a regiment of cyclones, and who had made many a blue-coat wish ho had remained at home, if a ‘‘stiff” could be considered, capable of wishing anything. Ben conceived the idea one day while on duty that he would make an effort to get away with his yankee “paid” on the opposite side of the creek. And he did! He did for a fact! 1 Io had an old army musket that would yank ahull into the ground rather than hit a barn at a hundred yards’ distance. With this old fusee ho couldn’t even make liis antagonist dm k his head under cover of the rock behind which he was stationed, while more than once he came very near being “rubbed out” by the ininuie balls of his opponents. Ben was disgusted with this one-sided con test .and, laying his old gun down, ho sang out: “•‘’ay, yank, less quit this foolishness and rest, awhile.” “Good as pork and beans!” returned tho yankee. “I'm afraid I mout knock yer chunk out and make another confederate widder i f I shoot at yer a?in.” “.So'ml,” taunted Ben. “I could er plugged you in the right eye'a hour ago if I’d bin a. mind ter.” “Whew!” whistled the yankee. “I'll bet yon mout shoot at Lookout mountain all day and yer couldn’t hit narry part of it, 'less you pinted yer old gun upwards aud let the bullet fall on it.” “Maybe I couldn’t,” retorted Ben; “but my 'pinion is that I've got a durn sight better gun than yourn.” “What sort is it?” "A Spencer rifle,” answered Ben. “Cum down to the creek and less swap,” proposed the yankee. “Less unload our guns fust,” suggested Ben. “That's bizness—here goes;” and, pointing their pieces in the air. they w ere soon rendered harmless for the time being. Marching to their respective banks of the stream, they seated themselves and proceeded to have a cozy chat, seemingly forgetful of past differences. "When arc you fellers goin’ to let up and stop tlii Masted war?” questioned Ben. "Win uold Jeff Davis hollers ‘cuuff’ and calls off his dogs,” was the answer. “Then you’il be fightin’ us when the other country freezes over!” was Ben’s indignant reply. “Oh, hang the war! Less talk about some thin’ else.” “I'm willin'.” “What sort of a gun did you say you had?” “Spencer.” “Spencer nothin’! I'll bet it was at the battle of Bunker Hill.” “Makes no difference; it suits me powerful well.” “How’ll you swap?” “ Even.” Ben kept his gun concealed as well as ho could. “It's a trade. Bitch yourn over and I’ll pitch mine.” “Not any to Imrt I won’t. We’ll both pitch at once,” was Ben's cautious suggestion. Acting on this proposal, they both rose to their feet, and at the words “here she comes,” Ben's gun went sailing to the opposite side; but the yankee only made a feint to throw his and held to it, at the same time seizing Beu’s, with the cool remark: “Good mornin’, Johnnie! Duz yer ole ’oman know yer out in the cool?” Hero was the tallest kind of a fix. Ben was too utterly transfixed to speak or move, neither of winch ho did for fully five minutes, while his triumphant enemy lav down and rolled on the ground with uncon trollable glee. "Ding the luck!” said Bon. seeming to think that was about as appropriate as anything ho say could under the circumstances. "You'll git glory fore Monday es yon don’t git back to yer hidin’ place at once,” gravely threatened the yankee, as he deliberately pro ceeded to load his gun. The cunning yank had him on a string, but Hen was too good a soldier to quail or to beg his enemy for mercy or his gun, so he thought he would try a ruse—for he knew he must have that gun before the relief officer came around or he would inevitably be court-martialed and made a target of the next day. Assuming an air of utter indifference, he bantezingly remarked to his enemy: "Oh. Irani the gun! I'm tired totin'it anj - - how. I’ll bet yon iny gun agin yourn lean beat you swiiumin'.” “Es you've got any gun I don't know wha you carry it,” laughed the yankee. “Shore enough! But less strip off and go in a wa-shin' anyhow.” * ‘Good I” And hastily throwing off their garments, thev were soon floundering in the water. "Now,” said Ben. banteringly. “less try our speed up to that rock”—about twenty steps dis tant. "Here goes!” And both plunged forward with all their strength toward the designated point. Ben purposely let the yankee take tho lead, while he splashed and puffed in the rear as though he was doing hie clean best to overtake him. Suddenly he whirled, and. like a dart, gained the side of the creek where the weapons lay. Seizing both pieces, he sprang to the opposite side before the yankeeknew what w as the matter. “Say, yank, how’d yon leave the old 'oman and children?” sneered Ben, feeling that it was his time to crow. “Sold, by thunder!” acknowledged tho dis comfited blue-coat iv» he ruefully crawled out on his side of the creek. “Now.” sain Ben, "es yon don’t double quick back to your post I'll make a w idder of you. ’ After teasing him a few minutes Ben pitched his old musket nt him and quietly walked off with hia tine Minnie Title, which he made do him excellent service to the close of the war.

Tribune and Sun, August 26 The Reason Why Ayer's Pills e.re so popular is, that while always reliable as a cathartic medicine, they never leave any ill effects. This is because they are purely vegetable, and entirely free from calo mel or any other dangerous drug. In all cases, therefore, whether the patient bo old or young, they may be confi dently administered. In the Southern and Western States, where derangements of the liver arc so general, Ayer’s Pills have proved ah in estimable blessing. D. W. Baine, New Berne, N. C., writes: *' I suffered a long time with stomach and liver troubles. I tried various rem edies, but received no beneut until I commenced taking Ayer’s Pills. These pills benefited me at once. I took them regularly for a few months, and toy health was completely restored.” Throughout New England, next to hing diseases, Stomach and Howel Complaints are the most prevalent. dyspepsia and Constipation are almost universal. Mr. Gallacher, a practical chemist, of Roxbury’, Mass., who was long troubled with Dyspepsia, writes: “ A friend induced me to try Ayer’s Pills, and, after taking one box without much benefit, I was disposed to quit them; but he urged perseverance, and, before I had finished the second box, I began to experience relief. I continued taking them, at intervals, until I had used eleven boxes. Suffice it to say, that I am now a well man, and grateful to your chemistry, which outstrips mine.” The head and stomach are always in sympathy; hence the cause of most of those distressing headaches, to which so many, especially women, are subject. Mrs. Harriet A. Marble, of Poughkeep sie, N. Y., writes that for years she was a martyr to headache, and never found anything to give her more than tem porary relief, until she began taking Ayer’s Pills, since which she has been in the enjoyment of perfect health.
